Recently, I found out that one of my fav writer friends, Kiersi Burkhart, grew up on a ranch in Colorado. Together we dreamed up Second Chance Ranch, a place in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where trouble kids go to find their way again.

We are so excited to announce the sale of our new book series to Darby Creek, an imprint of Lerner, coming your way in 2016 and 2017. Each book features a girl and her horse, meeting life’s challenges together. Kiersi and I can’t wait to tug on your heart strings and make you want to saddle up and ride with us!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my website and checking out my books. I love connecting with readers, librarians, teachers, and other writers.

Just so you know what to expect from me... I blog infrequently here, mostly about big ideas or particular experiences that have gotten under my skin and continue to niggle me. I also blog about critique and the writing process in a group blog at www.fromthemixedupfiles.com.

I'm the most interactive on Twitter. I use Goodreads to track my own reading habits and for giveaways. Detailed information about book releases and events is on my Facebook author page. (Sorry, but I can't accept friend requests on my personal FB feed from people I don't know in real life. It's a safety thing.)
